Michelle Caisse commented on DERBY-1992:
----------------------------------------
Unfortunately, I've hit a dead end on this issue due to licensing problems. Upgrading to DITA-OT
1.4.1 would not provide indexes because (1) indexes are not available for XHTML docs and (2)
the PDF index generation depends on software that, though it has a free personal license,
that license is not consistent with use within Apache (or any other organization, for that
matter.) (Andrew mentioned this problem in email to derby-dev on 16 Nov 07.)
Laura raised the issue of indexing support on the DITA Help forum (http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=4127959)
and by my reading of the response, getting a solution with a reasonable license doesn't look
promising.
DITA 1.4.1 does come with an Apache license. There is no longer a separate download for an
Apache licensed toolkit. I haven't yet succeeded in creating pdf with 1.4.1. If there is any
reason to upgrade given that we will not get indexes, I can pursue this.
